In today’s world, given the situations that we have experienced both with the COVID-19 pandemic and the remote workforce— realities that will be with us for a long time to come—the need for Internet access has never been greater than it is now. Workers, along with everyday people, need access to many different websites, online portals, the company intranet—and yes, even Google—to conduct and execute daily job functions.

While the Internet is a gargantuan repository of information (in fact, there are some 1.7 billion websites currently available), this is actually an exceedingly small percentage of what’s out there. Yet another vast expanse of the Internet exists that many people have never heard of. This part of the Internet is known as the “Dark Web.”

While policing the Public Internet can be a relatively complicated task for law enforcement, this is compounded even more in the Dark Web, given the high level of complexity involved.

Explore some of the challenges law enforcement officials and even digital forensics investigators face when trying to collect evidence on the Dark Web, including:

  • Overcoming higher levels of encryption and anonymity
  • Difficulties in jurisdiction
  • Collecting evidence in different formats
